Sturgis Just Turned 86, and Harley-Davidson vs Indian Motorcycle Got Personal
Aug 16, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- Most accessible entry point into the Indian Motorcycle brand in India
- Modern electronics for the price, including dual-channel ABS, traction control, cruise control and USB charging
- Lighter than most rivals in its class, easier to manage in city traffic
Worth knowing
- Smaller 999cc engine may feel underwhelming next to what buyers expect at this price point
- Only 6 dealer cities nationally (Delhi, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Cochin) means service and parts access is a real consideration
- Sold only as a CBU import, made to order, so wait times can be long
